A mass of skulls and bones of Pleistocene animals is shown as they were exposed by the 1928 excavations at Rancho La Brea. The skull in the center with the teeth is of an extinct camel, and at the bottom is a bison skull. These are the actual bones, perfectly sealed by the tar so that the elements could not cause disintegration.
